CHAPTER 1021: CHAPTER 1021

Seeing Jin Tuantuan’s furious look, Liang Yanyun nonchalantly said, "Indeed, I was just talking nonsense."

Perhaps because Liang Yanyun could always expose the secrets others kept hidden, people tended to believe her words without question.

Zhang Yang also noticed that Liang Yanyun was deliberately teasing Jin Tuantuan, so he stepped in to mediate.

"Alright, for now, it really isn’t advisable to leave the village."

"You go and invite Xu Mengyan’s mother over."

Jin Tuantuan didn’t refuse, and as she left, she gave Liang Yanyun a fierce glare.

"You better not fall into my hands, or I’ll make sure you pay."

Liang Yanyun only replied, "Next time you soothe yourself, remember not to use your phone."

Almost fuming with anger, but encountering such a hacker expert, there really wasn’t much to be done.

The other party could easily spy on her phone.

After Jin Tuantuan left, Qiao Dongna and Georgina finally heard from Zhang Yang that it was someone Jin Tuantuan sent who dealt with those hooligans.

This shocked Qiao Dongna and Georgina, making them very curious about who Jin Tuantuan really was.

It seemed like every woman around Zhang Yang was more formidable than the last.

They secretly warned themselves not to offend these women, or they’d certainly regret it.

The two of them didn’t have the kind of skills Liang Yanyun had.

Just then Zhang Yang’s phone rang. It was an unfamiliar number, but Liang Yanyun glanced at it and confidently said, "This is Second Brother Xu’s number."

Zhang Yang raised an eyebrow, then answered the call, wanting to hear how Second Brother Xu would persuade him to rescue Xu Mengyan.

"Second Brother Xu, what’s your business with me?" Zhang Yang asked in a deep voice.

Second Brother Xu was a bit surprised, "How did you know this is my number?"

After all, it was his first time calling Zhang Yang.

"I know a lot, including that you captured Xu Mengyan. I really didn’t expect you, her uncle, to go to such lengths."

Zhang Yang’s words had a mocking tone.

Second Brother Xu immediately became wary, realizing that there must be someone spying for Zhang Yang here too.

But these were minor details. Even if Zhang Yang knew about the trap set here, so what? Even a fool could have guessed it.

"Since you know, I won’t waste words. Are you going to save her or not?"

Zhang Yang let out a cold laugh, "You guess whether I’ll save her or not? But I want to ask you, does your big brother know about what you’re doing?"

"Zhang Yang, do you think I still care about these things now?" Second Brother Xu replied coldly.

"Don’t think I don’t know the relationship between you and Xu Mengyan. I’ve heard that you’re loyal, so let’s see if you dare to come and save her."

"Oh, and there’s a secret you’re unaware of. Why don’t you think about what that secret is? If you’re interested, call me directly."

After saying this, Second Brother Xu arrogantly hung up.

Zhang Yang frowned. Hearing Second Brother Xu’s tone earlier, it was clear he was confident.

This made Zhang Yang realize that the so-called secret must be closely related to him.

Could it be referring to his affairs with Xu Mengyan?

But for Zhang Yang now, even if it got exposed, it didn’t matter.

At most, he’d have to face Guo Qiyu’s retaliation, but given his current relationship with Guo Qiyu, they were already at odds.

This matter would at most damage Xu Mengyan’s reputation, but Zhang Yang understood Xu Mengyan’s character.

Bold enough to love and hate, she might not even care, and might even publicly disclose their relationship.

So what exactly was this secret?

Zhang Yang thought for a long time but couldn’t figure it out, until Jin Tuantuan brought Xu Mengyan’s mother over.

Xu Mengyan’s mother was already aware that Xu Mengyan had been captured by Second Brother Xu, and this time not only did she come, but Xu Zhuang also came along.

Unexpectedly, Xu Zhuang immediately grabbed Zhang Yang by the collar, loudly scolding, "It’s all because of the mess you made, now my daughter has been implicated."

"I’m telling you, if anything happens to them, I’ll make you pay with my life."

Zhang Yang pushed Xu Zhuang away with a cold face.

"Mr. Xu, you’d better watch your attitude, no one here is going to put up with you."

Xu Zhuang became even angrier, "You got my daughter pregnant and now have the nerve to act tough here. Are you still a man? If you truly have the guts, go save my daughter now."

The words left Zhang Yang flabbergasted.

And Shen Mange’s people were equally shocked.

They all knew about Xu Mengyan’s pregnancy, but never thought it had anything to do with Zhang Yang.

Was it true that the child in Xu Mengyan’s belly was Zhang Yang’s?

Zhang Yang was equally shocked, even incredulous. If it was true, why didn’t Xu Mengyan tell him?

However, Zhang Yang didn’t rush to deny it. Seeing Xu Zhuang’s demeanor, combined with what Second Brother Xu mentioned about the secret, it was likely true.

At this point, Mrs. Xu recounted everything Xu Mengyan had told her.

After hearing those words, everyone completely believed that the child in Xu Mengyan’s belly was indeed Zhang Yang’s.

One sentence stood out, indisputable by any woman.

A woman is willing to have a child for the man she loves, and if she could choose, even more so.

Zhang Yang really felt like slapping himself; he hadn’t realized even a bit of it.

It was mainly because Xu Mengyan hid it well and always kept talking about having a child with Guo Qiyu to strengthen their families’ ties.

Zhang Yang recalled everything carefully and immediately thought of that one crucial night.

That night, Xu Mengyan took the initiative and even asked Zhang Yang to fire all his bullets.

Xu Zhuang then scolded again, "Zhang Yang, this is the mess you’ve made. You’ve gotten my daughter, yet you still oppose our family, putting my daughter in the middle and jeopardizing her safety. Has your heart been eaten by a dog?"

Zhang Yang didn’t engage physically with Xu Zhuang but his expression also turned grim.

"Xu Zhuang, I’ll say it again, no matter what my relationship with Xu Mengyan is, the grievances between me and the Xu family, you know best."

"If you hadn’t come looking for trouble, who would have known any of you?"

Zhang Yang’s words left Xu Zhuang with no retort, though his anger hadn’t subsided.

"Even so, why can’t you let my brother off for my daughter’s sake?"

Zhang Yang directly countered, "Then why didn’t you go easy on me for Xu Mengyan’s sake back then?"
